That´s true. But since these test cases are obtained from a third
source, documentation can be produced only when some of us has used them
over time and has known it´s nature well. May be some of us will be able
to do it in future after considerable hit-and-trial use. Meanwhile i
will always be watching activities in these test cases mailing list. Any
updates from their side will be immediately reflected in ltp. Please
update results of their runs with us in the mailing list, we can also
improve documentation in the run.

Nice to know that it will be useful to you in future. I still have some
problem in integrating them. Though the CPU hotplug tests are GPL-ed,
the similar is not clear about the Memory hotplug tests. Some of them
are defined under GPL, but all are not clearly. I need to contact them
and see what can be done. Only after that i can integrate them to LTP.
Thanks for your suggestion.
